auxilary Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I used stock mount points, and made ear mounts out of 16ga steel. Angle grinder and a drill are all you need. Maybe a pair of vice and a hammer to bend it into shape. I used stock 90* adjustable bends that stock gauges mount to, and stock screw. voila. Cost in parts? Whatever a 12"x12" 16ga steel sheet costs at your local hardware store. I'll also line the outer edges with black weatherstripping to prevent rattling and to make a good seal.

Guest ON3GO Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 very cool man! keep the work up. you using any other gauges? like fuel level and etc? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 i have a fuel gauge, but i think that'll go either on the side somewhere or into the ashtray. i have a voltimeter, but I don't think I'm going to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 you have that console with the fuse box in the center? maybe move the fuse box and put the gauges there.. thats if you have that kind. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Dash is sure looking good! Nice work with all of the sheet metal. You do remember that I have a lot of zinc coated steel, yes? You are always welcome to as much as you want! Anyway, nice work. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Magnum Rockwilder Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 What size are the big 'uns? Instead of fooling with the stock tach and speedo I think I'll just replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted January 1, 2005 Author Share Posted January 1, 2005 The big gauges are 5" phantom tach and speedo, fit right in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
